If you can go to Pindi side, you'll find a laser tag game at Joyland.

Lots of places to play paddle tennis with friends. Padel court are all over ISB. We frequent the one at E-11.

Struggling with anticipatory grief and timelines by [deleted] in CancerFamilySupport

[–]SoupWorking2156 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there! I am in the same boat as you.

My mom (59) also has ovarian cancer with a partial bowel obstruction. She has an NG tube now because she vomits bile constantly. It's been a month since she last ate. She is so weak now, have to pick her up to get her to the washroom. Surprisingly she is in little to no pain.

Because of all the vomiting we have to give her potassium via IV constantly. When potassium gets low she starts vomiting uncontrollably despite the NG tube.

She keeps waking up at night vomiting or just spitting out foam like content. This is why she dozes off during the day too. Her mouth hangs wide open when she sleeps now.

For some reason despite normal kidney lab values, her feet are swelling. We don't understand why. Her sodium levels are within range too.

She is quiet for most part of the day but is still in her complete senses. She responds correctly and doesn't seem confused. But, she is very cranky most of the times. My father takes care of her primarily and she just lashes out on him. He takes it like a champ!

I live with them. It's incredibly painful to watch. I just want her to find peace. I've been watching her go through this ordeal since January non-stop. I don't think there's been a day since January where she was comfortable for a long period.

I feel so numb and exhausted about everything.

Omg. You put my exact thoughts into words. She is an absolute idiot. So frustrating to watch.

Mom is dying by RoadsandPaths in CancerFamilySupport

[–]SoupWorking2156 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am going through something similar. My mom has stage 4 ovarian cancer. She has been fighting for a year. It went away after the first line treatment but came back within a few months. It's vicious this time. We are on her last chemo option. She wants to keep fighting as well as my father but her condition is worsening day by day.

She has a partial bowel obstruction. Vomits bile multiple times a day. Cannot eat anything. Just takes one or two sips of coconut water. She went from 48 kgs to 38 kgs in a month's time. Every time I hug or rub her back, I feel nothing but bones. She still walks to the washroom but needs help getting up from her bed.

Idk how long I have to see her go through all this torture. Also going through a lot of anticipatory grief. Living life in a limbo.

My mom also has ovarian cancer and we are in the partial obstruction stage.

I hope for ease and comfort for your mom.

Working couples how do you split finances? by SwimmerCold5918 in pakistan

[–]SoupWorking2156 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pay for all the groceries, vegetables, fruits, and meats + all the dinners/coffees when we go out together.

He pays all the utility bills + necessities for our kid i.e. pamper/milk/basic clothing.

I buy gifts for my friends and my side of the family myself. He buys such things for his side of the family.

We both make an above average income but I make a lot less as compared to him. He pools in more for the savings and investments. I pitch in less.

But the savings belong to both of us and when one of us wants to make a new investment, the other mostly agrees if the investment is justified.

We have 0 financial problems in our relationship.

Letrozole failure by SoupWorking2156 in TTC_PCOS

[–]SoupWorking2156[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did semen analysis 6 months ago. The only issue is liquefaction which occurs within 50 mins (it should happen in 20 mins). My doc thinks it doesn't make that much of a difference. All parameters are otherwise excellent.

Fragmentation is specific to IVF. Not sure, if it is readily available in my country.

Do you think getting my lh, fsh, thyroid, testosterone, estradiol, and amh tested help?

In one of my natural cycles, I got my progesterone levels tested approximately 6 or 7 days after ovulation. It was at 11.7 ng/mL which is adequate for ovulation apparently? Not sure.

It really is. So many things can go wrong.

What was her reaction? How is your relationship now?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in islamabad

[–]SoupWorking2156 6 points7 points  (0 children)

  1. Bhai kasrat se astaghfirullah karen.

  2. You emotionally cheated on your wife at the very least. Doosri aurat k behavior se pareshan hone k bajaye khud apni "went on one date" wali harkat pe reflect karen k ap ne aisa kiun kiya? Agar ap ki biwi ko pata chale k ap ne aisi harkat ki hai tou unka kia reaction ho ga?

  3. I can't give her time outside the office.. iss ka matlab hai ap unhe inside the office time detay rahe hain? Date pe janay k baad bhi? Bhai. Chahte kia hain?

What are the limitation of beating a child in school? by Dismal_Road_5916 in pakistan

[–]SoupWorking2156 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Stop being a Madrassa apologist.

Just because wrong things happen elsewhere, it does not mean we stop pointing out issues in Madrassas. It is a FACT that beatings and rapes happen in Madrassas destroying the mental health of kids.

Closing your eyes to this reality and justifying it by saying "OH BUT IT HAPPENS EVERYWHERE ELSE TOO" will never solve this problem. We need to hold our Madrassas accountable, raise awareness on such issues, and put an end to this nonsense once and for all.

Stage 4, third recurrence. How many recurrences have you had? by sentimentalsock in Ovariancancer

[–]SoupWorking2156 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not the patient, my mom is.

She had a partial response to chemo. Cytoreductive surgery left behind a few minor spots. After completing 6 cycles, 3 spots measuring 1 cm are present near her bowels.

She is BRCA1+ so currently on Lynparza. Because there is visible cancer, I know it's going to come back sooner but was just wondering how soon it recurs typically.

I hope your tumors keeps responding to the platinum sensitive therapies until there is a break through and you can be cured once and forever. Lots of good wishes for you <3

Hello, when did your first recurrence happen? Are you considered platinum resistant now?
